Pinup Girl Round Two and a whole lot more!


Holy crap what a busy weekend of shooting! I got a call from a friend Friday night asking me to help him out with a group shoot on Saturday. I had a portrait session Sunday and a ton of images I still need to work on from the 2nd pinup session (image displayed). 
The Saturday shoot was rough. I only brought one light and I didn't have "a place to shoot". I was trying to make the best of it. Some of the models were OK and others were very green! I am still trying to get to those images, but for the most part I am not happy with the them as usual... I do think there are some that can be worked with. They are not typical portraits but they'll be cool when I finished the post processing.
The portrait session this morning was kinda funny. I showed up at the site and there were four other photoG's working. It was kinda interesting watching them work. I am not happy with those photo either. I know, no big surprise...
I still have to finish working on the photos from the pinup session. I think there are some good ones in the bunch. The model in the 1st session was new. She didn't know what to expect. In the second session she was thinking about modeling and it showed. She still did a good job! I can't wait to show the finished product.

Until my next rant...

NIK Sliver Efex Pro

I did a photo shoot of two beautiful twin babies a few weeks ago and I thought they would be the pergect test for the NIK's Silver Efex Pro plugin . It allows you to emulate specific film types. Lots a great features. The only down side I see is that it is expensive. 

I'll still buy it... 

Try it there is a 15 day demo. That brings me to another point 15 days? What happened to the good old days of 30 day demos? Really, does it cost the company that much for a 30 day demo? I don't think so.

If you are looking for something else to do you should check out this link. It's pack of Shiba puppies. There is something like 20,000 plus people watching this at any given time.... Crazy but fun to watch when you are having a stressful day. It'll make you smile.

Green Wold Bag Product

I was just checking out www.greenworldbags.com and noticed they are using the product shoots I've done for them. 
It's kinda cool to see your work being used especially when they paid for it :-)

Just found out...

I just found out that National City may start using this image for some of their promotional stuff. 
Pretty cool...

PS
The city should crop this more. There is too much street....
